Police maintained a presence on the grounds of Branchville Elementary School on Friday after an attempted morning bank robbery at the nearby corner of Routes 7 and 107 in Wilton.

Entrance to the school was restricted the rest of the day. Superintendent of Schools Kenneth Freeston determined that a lockdown at the school was not necessary, as there was no evidence the children were in danger, he said.
